Creating Poetry Influenced by Music
1. Music by F. Chopin in verse
Many poets created their poems under the influence of music, thanks to the work of Russian and foreign composers.
Our lesson is aboutpoetry related to music
Frida Ric Chopin (1810-1849), and music, which embodies
his ardent love for the motherland, his proud soul and his understanding beauty.
The Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin was an excellent pianist. It was said about him that "the keys under his fingers begin to sing." Nocturnes and preludes, waltzes and mazurkas, polonaises and ballads - this is not a complete list of genres in which the composer left his bright mark.
Chopin wrote music only for the piano, but this instrument, thanks to Fryderyk Chopin, sounded like Symphony Orchestra. It is known that Chopin wrote only two works in which a symphony orchestra sounded - these are two concertos for piano and orchestra.
Fate decreed that he lived and worked in a foreign land. Chopin rests far from his homeland, in Paris.
Chopin Museum in Warsaw
Chopin's heart according to his
last will, buried in Warsaw.But Chopin's work belongs to all the peoples of the Earth.
Read the poem L. Ozerova "Waltz".
WALTZ
Still ringing in my ears
The seventh waltz is an easy step,
Like a spring breeze
Like the flutter of bird wings
Like the world that I discovered
In the interweaving of musical lines.
That waltz still sounds in me
Like a blue cloud
Like a spring in the grass
Like a dream that I see in reality.
Like news about it. what i live
In relationship with nature.
2. Chopin Preludes
Chopin's work as a composer is closelyassociated with his performing arts. Being beautifulpianist, Chopin was an innovator in the creation
liricalic piano miniatures
- in the art of few words a clear and precise statement that expresses emotions and feelings,
not always verbal.
It was Chopin who approvedpre people as an independent art form.
Read the lyrical poem by A. Grasha "A Fistful of Earth".
A Fistful of Earth
When Chopin left his homeland,
Friends lovingly offered him
In an old goblet, a handful of native land,
So that a sweet gift accompanied him.
In inexplicable sadness, the days flowed by.
Among different countries, cold, alien halls
He sacredly guarded his cup,
In it, seeing the edge left in the distance.
Harmony is a thoughtful poet.
He sang sorrow noble light,
High love in human hearts.
When he died on a foreign land,
That sweet handful of native land
Ashes were crowned under a gloomy sky
Answer the question:
Why do you think the composer F. Chopin is called a poet in the poem "A Handful of Earth"?
3. Chopin's revolutionary study
Chopin discovered a newdirection in the development of the genreetude , never separating thosethe artistic side of performance from the artistic side.
Content delicacy and poetry musical images in the etudes of Chopin brought this type of music to the level of great art.
The very fact of the appearance of a sketch with such a theme is another evidence of the subordination of a technical task to an artistic one.
All miChopin's niatures, including this etude, sound likemediocre response to events that took place
in the country.The indignation, anger, despair associated with the events in Poland in 1830 brought to life the image of this composition: a strong-willed, agitated, dramatic theme - chords with their dotted with a sharp (sharp) rhythm in my right hand and furiously raging, I raiserunning and rapidly falling passages (technical performance) techniques in the left.
This sketch does not leave people indifferent in our time. "Revolutionary Etude" is included in their dance program
skaters around the world.
Answer the questions:
1. How is it perceived
final major chordon
background of the general minor sounding of the etude?
2. What's the point the composer invests in this contrast, like a dazzlerno flash of light?
4. Features of the piano music of F. Chopin
Listening to Chopin's music, one cannot but feel its kinship with Polish folk music. This applies above all to the wonderful Chopin melodies. Chopin is one of the greatest melodists in history musical culture. This is due precisely to its national Polish flavor. In the most various essays Chopin easily catches the intonations and rhythms characteristic of Polish folklore (singing melodies with graceful melodic patterns). Remember the polonaise you listened to in 4th grade.
Pay attention, its melody sounds like a speaker's fiery speech, the chord warehouse of the melody (simultaneous sounding of all voices), the elastic rhythm fill this music with determination and will, the major scale gives a sense of festivity.
Various types of melodic intonations naturally intertwine in Chopin's piano music: some are soft and smooth, reminiscent of human singing; others are declamatory: it seems that you hear human speech - sometimes excited, pathetic, sometimes affectionate and tender; finally, the third ones are mobile, often whimsical, capricious; they can be called instrumental intonations.
Choose words that characterize the figurative structure and mood of the music.
Thoughtfully dreamily , like a memory , meditation ,
sad.
heartfelt , sincerely , poetic , cordially , lyrically .
5. Task 1

Articles » Problematic issues of Russian literature » Explain why Pyotr Tchaikovsky believed that Afanasy Fet was the most talented composer among poets, and which of the Russian poets is the successor of Fet's traditions in the musical structure of poems
Answer:
Pyotr Tchaikovsky considered Afanasy Fet the most talented composer among poets, because his poems were the most lyrical and easily fit to music. Fet's poetry was for Tchaikovsky, as it were, a poetic standard. Most often, composers wrote romances to Fet's poems. A romance is a piece of music based on a love poem. The successor of Fet's work was Fedor Tyutchev.

AMADEUS
On a stormy night (it was raining and snowing)
December 7, 1791 body of Mozart,
sewn into a sack, was thrown into the general
grave and covered with lime. At the cemetery,
except for the driver, there was no one.
Austria forgot about Mozart.
Here is a limestone pit. And there -
A diseased grove in the acid of the fog.
And nobody. Drivers shout drunk
To the music of the downpour, then the whip.
(God "Requiem" that night
read from a sheet).
Imperial Vienna slumbered.
The hypnosis of the rain overcame her instantly,
Ile was issued, on occasion, a charter:
"Close all doors, windows and mouths"?
Vienna slumbered and I bet
Salieri dozed, knocking his wig to one side.
Our bandmaster took something for the future
And slept that night
calm as a groundhog.
Just didn't sleep
wheels in mud
Yes, the hearse, like a real devil, rushed.
And he swept, black phaeton,
Through rain and snow
There, to the outskirts of Vienna.
Nobody cut their veins that day
And he did not utter a groan over the terrible pit.
And entered the chest
resentment is a sharp knife.
Although it seemed
you can't get the dead
soul was waiting
without flying away
clinging to the body with a thread of nerve,
while, madly, -

PAGANINI
"... his soul turned out to be
completely devastated
it reigned only
endless loneliness
and great weariness.
Maria Tibaldi-Chiesa
"PAGANINI"
There was a half-dream dream: clowns flew in,
From the violin, the palms were torn off with difficulty.
It was whispered that these thinnest fingers
in the womb
carved by the Stradivari himself.
And the hands reached for the melodious toy.
And only the devil knew - the undisputed maestro,
What other flour will he load the child with
Siesta, lemur-coddled, instead.
Disappear bright
carefree capriccio.
But the flesh is before the violin
won the fate.
under the curtain
everything that you lived like a parable
about a wild dream
under the gaze of Daedalus.
_
Against the advice of Daedalus not to approach the sun,
Icarus, as if enchanted by a radiant luminary,
jumped right up to him.
The sun melted the wax
on which his wings rested,
and he fell down.
(From ancient Greek myth Daedalus and Icarus

AFTER THE CONCERT
ORGAN MUSIC
Wisdom has built itself a house
And she hewed out seven pillars for him...
Proverbs of Solomon
(IX,I)
Johann Sebastian Bach
Compose how to build a cathedral.
Stand aside
look at the scale
Whatever you hear, take it with you.
A dove will take off the soul under the dome.
Closer to the frescoes, closer to the stained glass windows.
There, you look, and the day will measure sparingly
little sun,
unclenching the fingers of the clouds.
The spirit is nourished, nourished and, probably,
Bach is partially to blame for this.
Somewhere there
over the boundless longing,
light and wisdom
on seven pillars.

BEETHOVEN
(impromptu, inspired
poem by Lyudmila Svirskaya)
"I have often cursed my existence...
A little more and I would have killed myself.
Only one thing kept me - my art ... "
Ludwig van Beethoven
"I'll pull all the music out of the pauses
And I will return you to the last note.

"Beethoven"
The destiny of others is easier and better.
But splashes in the glass
moonlight sky.
And the sound is crucified, flattened under the fingers,
And everything is strong and blows with the wind.
Let him knock on the oak door
Fate itself with a mighty fist,
Soul is ready. Washed everything in it cleanly,
A final wave, a chord.
I filled my earthly life so densely,
So I remade her music,
That it's time for me to leave - Lot's gait.
Who is not a sage
getting rid of mine?

He seemed to be part of a piano
when these hands touched the keys
and clear sound
with a facet, without a flaw,
selflessly perished
in general sound.
With all might
unbridled vibrations
he was drawn
into a different kind of game.
Not in that
where you can play
and in that
where the blood
the aorta is full.
Vesuvius of sounds.
The hall is getting closer to the lava.
two or three chords
until the final storm.
And now, along the grove
black and white keys
fingers rush
in a furious gait.
Crescendo of growing consonances...
A moment of silence.
And tart honey of results:
Stand at the piano
noise exhausting hearing,
and toil -
a hostage of excitement.

PHANTASMAGORIC
CONCERT
Mozart is playing.
Joyfully. Easily.
Slightly heard creaking of doors
and the whispers of the courtiers.
But Handel enters.
Powerful hand gesture
and horns are connected to the violins.
Everything is clearer, everything is louder

And let it sound
coyly and gracefully
So the emperor personally asked,
since violins
too nerve-wracking.
Didn't know His Majesty
did not know,
that music is not a page

And that Vivaldi

and indirectly in many other works.
Lyrical poems that I write seem to be accompanied by
some inner music. In such cases, the entire creative process
goes to her accompaniment.

The Russian school of composers, whose traditions were continued by the Soviet and today's Russian schools, began in the 19th century with composers who united the European musical art with Russian folk melodies, linking together the European form and the Russian spirit.
About each of these famous people you can tell a lot, everyone is not simple, and sometimes tragic fates, but in this review we tried to give only brief description life and works of composers.
1. Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka
(1804-1857)
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka while composing the opera Ruslan and Lyudmila. 1887, artist Ilya Efimovich Repin
“In order to create beauty, one must be pure in soul.”
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka is the founder of the Russian classical music and the first domestic classical composer who achieved world fame. His works, based on the centuries-old traditions of Russian folk music, were a new word in the musical art of our country.
Born in the Smolensk province, educated in St. Petersburg. The formation of the worldview and the main idea of Mikhail Glinka's work was facilitated by direct communication with such personalities as A.S. Pushkin, V.A. Zhukovsky, A.S. Griboyedov, A.A. Delvig. The creative impetus to his work was added by a long-term trip to Europe in the early 1830s and meetings with the leading composers of the time - V. Bellini, G. Donizetti, F. Mendelssohn and later with G. Berlioz, J. Meyerbeer.
Success came to M.I. Glinka in 1836, after staging the opera "Ivan Susanin" ("Life for the Tsar"), which was enthusiastically received by everyone, for the first time in world music, Russian choral art and European symphonic and opera practice, as well as a hero similar to Susanin, whose image generalizes best features national character.
V.F. Odoevsky described the opera as “a new element in Art, and begins in its history new period- the period of Russian music.
The second opera, the epic Ruslan and Lyudmila (1842), which was worked on against the backdrop of Pushkin's death and in the difficult living conditions of the composer, due to the profoundly innovative nature of the work, was ambiguously received by the audience and the authorities, and brought M.I. Glinka heavy experiences. After that, he traveled a lot, living alternately in Russia and abroad, without stopping composing. Romances, symphonic and chamber works remained in his legacy. In the 1990s, Mikhail Glinka's "Patriotic Song" was the official anthem of the Russian Federation.
Quote about M.I. Glinka:“The entire Russian symphonic school, like the whole oak in an acorn, is contained in the symphonic fantasy “Kamarinskaya”. P.I. Tchaikovsky
Interesting fact: Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka was not distinguished by good health, despite this he was very easy-going and knew geography very well, perhaps if he had not become a composer, he would have become a traveler. He knew six foreign languages, including Persian.
2. Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin
(1833-1887)
Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin, one of the leading Russian composers of the second half of the 19th century, in addition to his talent as a composer, was a chemist, doctor, teacher, critic and had a literary talent.

The formation of A.P. Borodin was influenced by the work of M.I. Glinka (as well as all Russian composers of the 19th century), and two events gave the impetus to dense occupation of composition in the early 1860s - firstly, the acquaintance and marriage with the talented pianist E.S. Protopopova, and secondly, the meeting with M.A. Balakirev and joining the creative community of Russian composers, known as the "Mighty Handful".

The central place in the work of A.P. Borodin is occupied by the opera "Prince Igor" (1869-1890), which is an example of national heroic epic in music and which he himself did not have time to finish (it was completed by his friends A.A. Glazunov and N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov). In "Prince Igor", against the backdrop of majestic paintings historical events, reflected the main idea of all the composer's work - courage, calm grandeur, spiritual nobility of the best Russian people and the mighty strength of the entire Russian people, manifested in the defense of the motherland.
Despite the fact that A.P. Borodin left a relatively small number of works, his work is very diverse and he is considered one of the fathers of Russian symphonic music who influenced many generations of Russian and foreign composers.
Quote about A.P. Borodin:“Borodin's talent is equally powerful and amazing both in the symphony, and in the opera and in the romance. Its main qualities are gigantic strength and breadth, colossal scope, swiftness and impetuosity, combined with amazing passion, tenderness and beauty. V.V. Stasov
Interesting fact: named after Borodin chemical reaction silver salts of carboxylic acids with halogens, resulting in halogenated hydrocarbons, which he first investigated in 1861.
3. Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
(1839-1881)
“The sounds of human speech, as external manifestations of thought and feeling, must, without exaggeration and rape, become truthful, accurate music, but artistic, highly artistic.”
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky is one of the most brilliant Russian composers of the 19th century, a member of the mighty handful». innovative creativity Mussorgsky was far ahead of his time.

The decisive event that determined that Mussorgsky was not born for military service, and for music, was his meeting with M.A. Balakirev and joining the "Mighty Handful".
Mussorgsky is great because in his grandiose works - the operas "Boris Godunov" and "Khovanshchina" captured dramatic milestones in music Russian history with a radical novelty that Russian music did not know before, showing in them a combination of mass folk scenes and a diverse wealth of types, the unique character of the Russian people. These operas, in numerous editions by both the author and other composers, are among the most popular Russian operas in the world.
Another outstanding work of Mussorgsky is the cycle of piano pieces "Pictures at an Exhibition", colorful and inventive miniatures are permeated with the Russian refrain theme and the Orthodox faith.
There was everything in Mussorgsky's life - both greatness and tragedy, but he was always distinguished by genuine spiritual purity and disinterestedness.
His last years were difficult - life's disorder, non-recognition of creativity, loneliness, addiction to alcohol, all this determined his early death at 42, he left relatively few compositions, some of which were completed by other composers.
The specific melody and innovative harmony of Mussorgsky anticipated some features musical development 20th century and played an important role in the development of the styles of many world composers.
Quote about M.P. Mussorgsky:“Originally Russian sounds in everything that Mussorgsky did” N. K. Roerich
Interesting fact: At the end of his life, Mussorgsky, under pressure from his "friends" Stasov and Rimsky-Korsakov, renounced the copyright to his works and presented them to Tertiy Filippov.
4. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky is one of the first Russian "professional" composers - he studied music theory and composition at the new St. Petersburg Conservatory.
Tchaikovsky was considered a "Western" composer, in contrast to the folk figures of the "Mighty Handful", with whom he had good creative and friendly relations, however, his work is no less imbued with the Russian spirit, he managed to uniquely combine the Western symphonic heritage of Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann with Russian traditions inherited from Mikhail Glinka.
The composer led active life- was a teacher, conductor, critic, public figure, worked in two capitals, toured Europe and America.
Tchaikovsky was a rather emotionally unstable person, enthusiasm, despondency, apathy, irascibility, violent anger - all these moods changed in him quite often, being a very sociable person, he always strove for loneliness.
It is a difficult task to single out something best from Tchaikovsky's work, he has several works of equal size in almost all musical genres- opera, ballet, symphony, chamber music. And the content of Tchaikovsky's music is universal: with inimitable melodism, it embraces the images of life and death, love, nature, childhood, works of Russian and world literature are revealed in a new way, deep processes of spiritual life are reflected in it.
Composer quote:“Life has charm only when it consists of the alternation of joys and sorrows, of the struggle between good and evil, of light and shadow, in a word, of diversity in unity.”
"Great talent requires great hard work."
Composer quote: “I am ready day and night to stand as a guard of honor at the porch of the house where Pyotr Ilyich lives - to such an extent I respect him” A.P. Chekhov
